"Mr Owens, at his father's death, received a small patrimony, yet he succeeded by hard labor and great diligence in acquiring about 2,000 acres of land ...gave liberally of his means for the erection and establishment of Churches, as well as to encouraging public improvements, which would tend to be of benefit to the community and the commonwealth."
